These developing musicians come from a wide range of different cultures and backgrounds. This allows for our school to provide many forms of involvement in the visual and performing arts. Being one of six middle schools in the district, it is easy for my students to feel like a small number.
Every student learns at a different pace, and I want to encourage each student to focus on the learning process.
My students have a genuine desire to learn new and dynamic music. It is my job to provide them with the tools to make that desire a reality. As young adults of a "Just 'Google' it" generation, every student must learn about individual responsibility and accountability. This means that these young musicians must learn about work ethic and independent practice while developing a musical art form.
My Project
Each student has his/her own individual piano with headphones. This allows for each young musician to develop at the appropriate pace for his/her learning ability. Because of this, students need a wide variety of piano repertoire and methods resources. This is to ensure that each student is meeting his/her personal goal while seeking mastery at the piano. This project will provide music theory materials to facilitate that.
Learning to read music is much like learning a new language, which requires plenty of different techniques and methods.
For each student to develop this skill, we must foster to his/her individual learning needs. Through this project, each student will accomplish more and perform complex repertoire from a variety of composers.
